Training

Going Agile / DevOps requires training across the organization to start developing a common language and setting expectations. From enterprise stakeholders down to developers and testers there must also be alignment to principles and values if your organization is to become high performing.

Our array of courses is tailorable to your needs to provide immediate impact. We simply need a conversation to provide initial suggestions and then collaboratively design a curriculum with defined outcomes. For organizations wishing more personalization we also offer workshops.

We offer public and private training events which can be held onsite or offsite. We generally prefer to keep training events to no more than 25 people for greater individual attention but have provided training events to nearly 100 people. For organizations that want high energy and fast paced events, we also offer boot camps.
